Interpretation and Scripting


It is important that you identify the voice of your narrator as you choose the most important sentences -- utterances-- from the poem.

After you have identified the sentences most important to you, come together as a group and begin to share you sentences and decide as a group which ones should be performed and how.

The key here is supporting your interpretation from the text or connecting to experiences outside of the poem to your life, or the lives of others to share or convey experience and ideas.

Once you have decided which lines you will perform, begin to script and choreograph each line.
  1. decide how you will present it
  2. who will present it
  3. how it will be presented
  4. with what props and movement
  5. why it should be done this way -- what are you trying to convey/communicate?
